Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona

The State of MA requires a person who has been convicted of open & gross lewdness twice to register as a sex offender. The State of AZ requires a person convicted of the same crime to register if convicted three times. I have a house in both states, If I move permanently to AZ from MA where I was charged and convicted twice and had to registered, would I have to register in AZ where the requirements are three convictions? Also, MA requires one to be registered for 20 years and in AZ it's 10 years, which standard would I have to follow living in AZ?
